MARIE PREscoTr, AND R. D. Mc-
LEAN.
This clever couple will positively
appear at the Opera Hall this ever
ing in that beautiful romantic
drama "Ingomar." The Atlanta
Constitution says:
Miss Prescott is away yonder
above numbers of the ''stays" that
essay to illuminc the American the
atrical armament. Her portrayal
of the gentle. timid, yet strong and
womanly, 'Parthenia" was as fine .
bit of acting as has been seen on q
southern stage for many a day. She
has fine conception of the charaC~
ter, and is mistress of her lines. She
possesses q marvelouslv sweet voica,
which, supplemented by the elocu-
tionists arr, combines to make her
recital delightful and captivatingly
pleasing to the ear. Neither does
she lack in dramatic force and fire.
Several times last evening her at
tentivo audience was thrilled with
the quiet halfsubducd, yet powerful
and touching, exhibition Of her dra-
matte power. She va repeatedly
called before the curtain.
Mr.. Mclean, as Iugomqr," has Al
elegant stage presence and is q grace
| full, easy actor who does his work
not only conscicntiously but well,
and his scenes with Miss Prescott
are almost as fUrcible and impres-
sive as the graceful portrayal Of the
star"
Seats are now on sale at Sawyer's.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES. j
Gladstone and the Irish Leaders.

Z
Gladstone, in his speech at the dinner
given by the Labor members OF parliament,
declared his entire disbelief in the accusa-
lions against the Irish leaders. He said:
In May, 1882, Immediately after the as
sassination OF CaYendish and Burke, Par
nell wrote him in reference to that crime.
The letter, which was obviously written
under great mental distress, threw consid-
cradle light upon the topic OF the present
hour and was strong evidence in
favor OF the contention that the Times
letter was a base, malicious forgery. Par
nell, apparently foreseeing that in the pub
lie mind he would be associated with the
crime, offered to place himself, without re-
serve, in Gladstone's hands. He wrote
that he regarded the murders with the ut
most adherence, and offered to resign the
leadership OF the Irish party and retire al
together from political life, if Gladstone
considered such a step advisable in the in
terests OF Ireland. Gladstone said he would
refrain from saying what reply
he made, adding it was only a
short time since he obtained Parnell's
assent to his mentioning the matter. Al
luding to the advice rendered Parnell from
certain quarters that he bring action
against the Times, Gladstone said that
many years ago when commissioners to
the Ionian islands the Times bitterly at
tackled him, accusing him OF treason. On
returning to England he consulted the
famous Lawyer Freshfield with view OF
bringing action, but was dissuaded, the
lawyer expressing the conviction that even
If Gladstone proved his case no jury in the
then state Of the public mind would be
likely to convict the Times.

Gen. Fairchild issues Proclamation.

Commander-in-C Chief Fairchild OF Wiscon-

Gently adopted by the executive committee
OF the council OF the G.. A.
Il. in Chicago, approving his action in di-
recting posts not to comply with any re-
quest for opinions on any subject unless
with the approval OF the national depart
ment headquarters. In addition he says:
Comrades OF the order will at once realize
the great necessity which at all times exists
for united and concerted action by all posts
on any question touching the general good
OF the members and the great danger which
attends any inc ,vidual or unauthorized
movement in that direction It is not
doubted that friends of veterans who seek
to be of service to them will on reflection
see the wisdom OF this decision. If it shall
6 pear that THERE'S aneoessity for the pub
l.cation OF information which has been
sought, the national encampment which
convenes next September will without
doubt provide for expressions OF opinion
by posts. This will be done in such a
manner as to secure vote not only OF
posts, as such, but to allow an expression
by each member OF the order on pension
legislation. There is no disposition or
wish on the part OF members OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic to decline to give to
the public in a proper way their opinion
on any subject OF like general interest.

There are at least three crematories
in operation in the United States
one at Washington, Penn, another at
Buffalo and the third near Brooklyn.
The latter has been opened but a brief
time, yet several months ago it was
reported that over 100 bodies had
been incinerated there, and that a
large number besides awaited the
process at the same place. Once long
accounts were sent out from Wash
ington, Penn, on each occasion wher
a body was cremated. But so com
monplace has the business become
that the reports have mainly ifnot
altogether ceased.

The success of the Canadians in thei

The success of the Canadians in their
live stock trade with England has
been a surprise to American stock,
men. The secret is explained in a
pamphlet issued by the Canadian Ag-
rlcultural Department, in which it is
stated that the fatal cost of convey
ing a steer from Toronto to Liverpool
IS $50, made up as follows: Rail
from Toronto to Quebec, SO. SO; feed,
$3.50; attendance, IS cents; insurance,
$l.75; steamer freight, $3.50. Thus
the cost otlaying down a 1,6O0-pound
steer in Liverpool is 1 IA cents per
pound live weight.

through the month OF March and the

but an average cropis hardly expected.

cramped quarters, where THERE'S hard

1,256 Italians to New York. from

they paid from IS to 40 francs for
the passage from Naples; that the

that the immigrants could hardly find

that after the second day out they

or had the slightest interest in know ing whether she was dead or alive.
 But on the Christmas eve that 1 have introduced him to your notice, he sat by the fire thinking; and his thoughts were of her. He had long ago admitted to himself that he was too nasty when he drove his only daughter away from his home but he still remained silent. At each family reunion, always held on Christmas day, he had missed her. And as the coming one was to be held at his house, and his brothers and sisters with their families would be there, he, with some bitterness of feeling, was breeding over the fact that, through no fault of his, he reasoned, the pleas ures of the day would be msrred. Every body missed Mary; the chil- dren ot his nephews and nieces would ask tor her and talk about her, despite the admonitions they had received to the contrary. As he was busy with his thoughts, gazing the while moodily into the fire, and now and then punching up the forest in a ! spitetul sort of way, Grandma Bots worth suddenly spoke up and said;
 "Tomorrer'll be another white / Christmas This makes two on lem right hand runnin'. Three years ago was mighty mild winter, and we had a green Christmas that year."
 Here the old lady paused and heaved a sigh. No one said anything, and she continued II recolleck now there was more buryin's that year in the Bald Hill buryin' groun' than there has been since, all put together"
 "Yes," assented Mrs. Botsworth, re- flectively, ''a green Christmas alters makes fat graveyard, they say, an l never knowed it to fail'

 The exclamation with which he concluded his remark was caused by the furious barking of old "Maie," the watch dog, the sound of voices in the front yard, and what seemed to be the cry of q child in fear.
 The two boys started for the front door, while the remainder of the tam- fly sat intently listening, and wonder ing who could be their visitors. They had not long to wait; for minute later the sitting room door was flung open and Jacob strode in, bearing il his arms bright and lusty two-year-
